These shrimps were mostly collected during the Thirteenth International Marine Biological Workshop — The Marine Fauna and Flora of Moreton Bay, Queensland. Nine species have not been previously recorded from Moreton Bay. Coloured photographs of living specimens are included. A key to all palaemonid shrimp species found from Moreton Bay is provided. q Crustacea; Decapoda; Palaemonidae; taxonomy; Moreton Bay; Queensland; Australia; new records. The palaemonid fauna of Moreton Bay, Queens - key to all 39 species known from Moreton Bay land, has been reported or noted previously by is provided later in the paper. Patton (1966), some papers by Bruce (Bruce 1977a, Rostral dentition is given in the form of a 1981a, b, 1988, 1998; Bruce & Coombes 1995, 1997) formula, e.g. '1+4–6/1–3', means 1 rostral tooth and by Davie (1998, 2002). With the results of the placed on the carapace behind the orbit, 4–6 present study, there are now 39 species known other dorsal teeth, and 1–3 ventral teeth. from the Bay, including five species of the sub- family Palaemoninae and 34 species of the sub- SYSTEMATIC ACCOUNT family Pontoniinae (see Table 1).
